My Wife Is The Final Boss-Chapter 800 - 450: The Twenty-Second Day of the Late Month (Double-Length, Part 2)
First comes desire, then comes children.
"...Is that so?" Yun Qian murmured, her Liu Mei furrowed together.
Wait.
It seems that’s not the case.
Li Zhibai, once considered a candidate for "main wife" in her mind, mentioned—menstrual blood.
A woman needs menstrual blood to have children, and she doesn’t have it yet, so how could she have children?
And menstrual blood, according to Zhu Pingniang’s explanation, has never appeared because her body has always been too weak; only after Yin Yang Dual Cultivation with her husband will it emerge.
Miss Lu: "..."
Just now, did Miss Yun glance at her?
That gaze seemed to be...
Seemed to be...
She couldn’t put it into words, but she felt that Yun Qian’s gaze had seen right through her, making her feel utterly embarrassed.
Miss Lu watched Yun Qian’s deep and contemplative expression and was intensely curious.
She wanted to know what important matter Yun Qian was contemplating with such seriousness.
Could it be about her?
Feeling a bit delighted.
Truthfully, when alone with Yun Qian, she truly hoped... Yun Qian’s gaze was purposely on her, and not seeming to be on her with her mind elsewhere.
"Yun... Madam Xu." Miss Lu gently tugged Yun Qian’s sleeve, asking softly, "What... what are you thinking about?"
"Hm?"
Yun Qian returned to her senses, looking at the woman before her and asked her, "Is menstrual blood very important for women?"
"Ah..."
Miss Lu was stunned for a good while upon hearing the words.
She... She hadn’t expected Yun Qian to suddenly bring up such a matter, and she was completely startled, only coming back to her senses after some time, looking at Yun Qian with a bewildered face: "Yes, yes it is."
As the steward of Flower Moon Building, she indeed had taught numerous girls about menstrual blood and matters to be mindful of, when there weren’t many people around in the beginning.
"A woman must receive menstrual blood to have children, right?" Yun Qian confirmed once again.
"Of course." Miss Lu nodded: "At fourteen, menstrual blood arrives; the Ren Meridian opens, the Tai Chong Meridian flourishes, and the monthly flow occurs timely, then one can have children..."
She said, somewhat puzzled, looking at Yun Qian, not understanding her intentions.
Menstrual blood...
Why would a lady suddenly bring up such a matter.
There’s really no reason to feel shy about it, since it’s something every woman experiences; it’s the most normal thing, and discussing it among women alone... is as ordinary as eating or drinking.
She was just surprised by Yun Qian’s leap in thinking.
But quickly, Miss Lu became happy.
Because, as good friends, even close friends, knowing the dates of each other’s menstrual cycle and tending to one another is extremely important.
"Ma-Madam, my... my day is the twenty-second of this month." Miss Lu blushed, speaking up, truly looking forward to Yun Qian’s reaction.
"...?"
Yun Qian blinked, looking at her.
Miss Lu noticed that Yun Qian hadn’t caught onto her meaning, her gaze faintly dimmed, but she quickly perked up again.
She patted her face.
Opportunities are to be sought; now that she knows Miss Yun, when speaking to her... it’s best to be clear, as hints are ineffective.
"My day is around the twenty-second... What about your day, Madam?" Miss Lu spoke, feeling her face grow hot, she waved her hand continuously, unable to help but explain: "I-I wasn’t deliberately prying into your privacy, just... just..."
Simply put, she wants to become Yun Qian’s maid; if their days are close, then... when the time comes, if their cycles clash, serving Yun Qian might become inconvenient.
After all, if she is weakened when Yun Qian needs tending, she naturally won’t fulfill her duties as a maid.
Therefore, if Yun Qian and her really clash days, then... perhaps it’s wise to prepare for having not just one maid.
Yes.
Without any official status yet, Miss Lu had already laid aside Zhu Pingniang, starting to consider herself as Yun Qian’s maid.
She had no choice; her identity was merely Zhu Pingniang’s "daughter," not a maid.
"Madam, you... are not at the end of the month, right?" Miss Lu gritted her teeth and spoke up, then watched Yun Qian closely.
"Oh."
Yun Qian pondered the knowledge she had acquired, realizing Miss Lu’s meaning, she shook her head and said: "I haven’t yet."
"Haven’t... haven’t..." Miss Lu was stunned for a good while, subconsciously saying: "Madam, are you not fourteen yet?"
"?"
"?"
The two locked eyes, and the air seemed to freeze.
"I’m... I’m sorry." Miss Lu’s face flushed and she lowered her head: "I-I think I’ve burnt out my mind."
She had overloaded her mind by revealing her cycle, hence the absurd thought.
Miss Lu felt deeply embarrassed.
Even though the girl before her looked quite young, primarily Yun Qian’s mindset seemed youthful and somewhat naive, which made her blurt out such nonsense.
No matter how you put it, one couldn’t... couldn’t say the girl was just ten-something.
If Miss Yun was only ten-something, then what would that make him...?
What was she even thinking?
"It’s alright." Yun Qian replied, then looked at the woman before her, finding her to be a very interesting person.
Actually, if all time before her husband appeared held no meaning, then... the age of a woman ’named Yun Qian’ should be counted from the moment she found him.
So truthfully speaking, perhaps Yun Qian’s age was even younger than Miss Lu thought.
"Let... let Madam laugh at me." Miss Lu bit her lip, full of apology.
She reasoned it out.
Given Yun Qian’s frail constitution, it’s indeed possible she lacks menstrual blood, but such... is quite unfavorable for a young lady.
After feeling ashamed, there comes some heartache.
With Yun Qian’s bearing, she’s undoubtedly a wealthy young lady; if even such a family background couldn’t mend her health, then it seems... she might have suffered a lot in her childhood.
In Miss Lu’s mind, Yun Qian had automatically morphed into a woman married, yet uneasy due to not being able to have children without menstrual blood.
What woman, upon having a beloved husband, would disregard such a thing?
"Indeed, even you must... must..." Miss Lu muttered, softly grasping Yun Qian’s fingers: "Madam, you needn’t worry about such matters, with Ms. Zhu around, since you are part of the Immortal Sect, there will surely be solutions."
Saying such words, Miss Lu lowered her head.
She was useless, not a healer and possessing no cultivation, so... when comforting others, she could only bring up Zhu Pingniang.
Indeed, a mundane yet lustful woman like her could only be a maid.
"I know." Yun Qian nodded.
Miss Lu sensed Yun Qian’s calm tone, her guilt inside dulled a bit, yet she was most impressed by Yun Qian.
Miss Yun’s hand may be soft, but she’s truly a resilient person.
If she were in Yun Qian’s position, she couldn’t accept such tranquility regarding her inability to have children... for a wife, this would be a grave inadequacy.
"From here, I sense... the partner’s tender care for the Madam." Miss Lu whispered.
Yun Qian, hearing this, looked at her a bit longer.
She quite favored this remark, thus she smiled at Miss Lu, releasing her grip, taking her cup for a gentle sip.
"By the way, Madam." Miss Lu lightly coughed.
If Yun Qian could look beyond the matter of menstrual blood, then... what had she been pondering with furrowed brows just now?
Very concerned.
"Besides menstrual blood, what else crossed your mind?"
If there’s trouble, she hoped the lady would confide in her.
Miss Lu surmised that Yun Qian was a somewhat naive, sheltered lady, not possessing the same scheming mind as someone like her, seasoned in the intrigues of brothel life.
Thus, should Yun Qian face any discontent, maybe she could offer some advice.
"Me?" Yun Qian laid down her cup of tea.
"Mhm." Miss Lu braced herself.
To make Yun Qian frown, it must be quite a remarkable problem.
"I’ve been thinking about intimacy."
"..."
